Bug 156399

Summary:	sys-apps/coreutils-6.6 fails on test du/iacc-dest
Product:	Gentoo Linux	Reporter:	Karsten Baumgarten <karsten.baumgarten>
Component:	[OLD] Core system	Assignee:	Gentoo's Team for Core System packages <base-system>
Status:	RESOLVED CANTFIX
Severity:	normal	CC:	esigra, Sergiy.Borodych
Priority:	High
Version:	2006.1
Hardware:	x86
OS:	Linux
Whiteboard:
Package list:		Runtime testing required:	---

Description Karsten Baumgarten 2006-11-27 04:37:29 UTC

Looking at the test, it seems it will always fail.

Line 49 in the test do this:

du > ../t 2>&1 && fail=1

The latter, executed as a normal user, yields this on my system:

0       ./a
0       ./b
du: cannot access `./c/j': Permission denied
du: fts_read failed: Permission denied

When being executed as root, there is no "Permission denied" at all. Hence the test at the end (comparing the output of du) would always yield differences in out/exp/exp2, hence the test fails.

The manual tests above were performed using coreutils-6.4 (without the 'test' feature, as this fails for a different test. See #156383)

Comment 2 Erik 2007-10-09 16:44:48 UTC

The specified version of coreutils does not exist in Gentoo, so I suppose this
should be closed.
